No stranger to social singing at weddings and gatherings, Polina Skovoroda grew up in a home where songs were frequently sung at table after eating borsht and drinking homemade wine. Come and share the experience: this day-long course will explore old and new Russian folks songs around the Wedding – this mysterious and joyous event filled with ritual and exorcism songs, bride's weeping songs, honouring songs, dance songs. Enjoy the beautiful and rich Russian harmony singing - with attention to tradition, history and style.
Music lovers of all backgrounds and levels are welcome, no experience necessary. Teaching by ear. With Polina Skovoroda.
